Biography
I have been working as a professional artist now for over 25 years and have been described as a contemporary classicist. I use Michael Harding oil paints and stretch and prime all my own canvasses. I am very particular about the quality of materials I use and about the standard of work that leaves the studio. I use form and figure to explore themes as varied as world issues, to the minutiae of relationships. My paintings can be likened to a crime scene where clues are left to suggest an underlying cryptic narrative that explores my interaction with the world. In much of my work I use symbolism that embraces a dual meaning and frequently an opposing one. I see the canvas as a portal to another world where there is freedom to create or manipulate anything.
